Ridiculous!

[kaebele]

Joey and I went to Fred Meyer this morning to pick up a few items. There were only two checklanes open, and we chose to go to the "family friendly" lane.

I was told that "family friendly" means "no magazines" - because besides the copious amounts of candy and gum that were on display on BOTH sides of the checklane, there were, easily within a child's reach:

• razors
  
• lighters
  
• ibuprofin in a small tube (not child-proofed)
  
• super glue

The clerk was less than impressed by my statement that this was NOT family-friendly, and rolled her eyes as she handed me a "feedback" form. I will DEFINITELY be filling it out and mailing it to them.
